i'm amazed at your statement because i'm experiencing the opposite problem! i'm working on as many projects as i can keep straight in my head and can think of quite a few others that i'll eventually get to.

just think of something that would make your life easier (ie. laziness principle) for example, i'm working on a set of scripts that make handling my vast media collection easier. odds are that if this tool makes your life easier it will make other peoples life easier. and if its good enough of an idea some of them may even offer to help you develop it.

what can you think of along these lines? hell, if it sounds useful, maybe some monks will help you out, i know i would.

Another place you may be able to help a lot is CPAN, by looking through the long-term bugs of some modules (Here I'd actually recommend lesser-known modules.. if a bug remains in a big module it's likely to require extensive reworking) you may be able to find a programming task that you feel confident in, with a module in a domain that interests you.
